Liverpool had this match done and dusted by the fifteenth minute, but Luis Suárez decided to keep heaping misery on poor Norwich all the same. By the 35th minute, the Reds forward had scored a hat trick, his third in as many seasons against the Canaries. In the second half, he added to his tally, picking up yet another goal and notching an assist. The trampled Norwich slide down into 16th, just a point above the drop.

Although the second goal from Suárez wasn’t the sort that drew gasps of astonishment from the crowd, the first and third were absolute beauties. The first goal from the Uruguayan came from a header by Steven Gerrard, which escaped a Norwich player to bounce in front of Suárez. He caught the bounce and smashed his shot in from about 35 yards, sending it looping through the air, over John Ruddy and into the top corner of the net.

The third goal was also pretty fantastic. Picking up a ball from Raheem Sterling, Suárez juggled it on his thigh, flipped it over the head of a hapless Norwich defender, and let his shot rip, this time from about 25 yards out. Ruddy was again unable to do a thing, with the ball flying into the bottom right corner.

Norwich looked utterly defeated by the time Suárez was through, but Chris Hughton’s halftime talk must’ve revived them just a little. Just after the restart Sebastien Bassong went close with a header, but put it just a bit high. Efforts rather petered out after that, and despite Hughton’s attempt to liven things up with his substitutions, it was Liverpool that were coming the closest, with Ryan Bennett forced to clear a Gerrard header. Then Suárez could have had a fourth on a quick counter, but Sterling elected to go it alone, and found himself relieved of the ball.

Eventually, though, the Uruguayan managed to add to his tally, knocking in his fourth with fifteen minutes left to play. It was yet another from distance, this time off a 25 yard free kick. Ruddy could do nothing as the ball bent around the Norwich wall to end up in the top corner.

Norwich did end up with a consolation prize, however: a goal from Bradley Johnson in the 83rd minute. The cross came in from Nathan Redmond and Johnson was able to get above Daniel Agger to flick on the header. It likely troubled Liverpool very little however — particularly since they managed yet another, in the 88th minute. This time it was Suárez providing the assist, sending the cross in for Sterling, who slotted home on the bounce.

Never mind all that: Harry Kane was healthy, and scored three goals as Spurs kept pace with group mates Real Madrid in filing a 3-0 win at APOEL Nicosia in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

Kane said he was very proud of the side’s performance, as youngster Anthony Georgiou and seldom-used Georges-Kevin N’Koudou put in shifts in the win. From the BBC:

“We weren’t pleased with the first-half and a couple of chances could have gone the other way. We were more clinical and in the Champions League that is what you have got to be.

“We are missing a few players but the lads who stepped in were fantastic. We have a solid squad and you have to be ready. 3-0 away in the Champions League no matter who you play is a good result.”

Kane has 11 goals in September between club and country, and has six hat tricks in 2017. There may not be a finer big striker firing in Europe right now, and both England and Spurs will hope to ride him well into 2018.

A point from far from home is not the end of the world, but Liverpool will rue its missed chances in a 1-1 draw at Spartak Moscow in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

Goalkeeper Artyom Rebrov had a stellar day for Spartak before being injured and then replaced by Aleksandr Selikhov, who was also strong for the Russians.

Fernando (not that one) scored a free kick for Spartak, while Philippe Coutinho bagged the equalizer that keeps the Reds ahead of Spartak on goal difference. Both sides are three points behind Sevilla.

Hugo Lloris flubbed an early clearance and was fortunate to see the back-bounding ball dribble wide of his left post.

Carlao could’ve given APOEL a surprise lead close to halftime but headed wide of the net from within 10 yards.

Kane nearly added an assist to his ledger at the start of the second half, but Son Heung-min just missed his effort wide of the frame.

He scored another goal anyway, and another one. Moussa Sissoko set Kane up for the second of the night, a relatively simple finish for the striker, and Kane completed his trio of goals when he headed Kieran Trippier‘s cross home.
